Shen Yuheng transmigrated into a book, becoming a “cannon fodder” male concubine in the old Emperor’s harem.
The System delivered a double blow of bad news:
- In one year, the tyrannical Xiao Jin will ascend the throne and execute Shen Yuheng by dismemberment.
- Tonight, the old Emperor has flipped Shen Yuheng’s nameplate, summoning him for “night service.”
Shen Yuheng: “???” Is there a worse way to start a new life?
To escape his tragic end, Shen Yuheng decided to play the role of a “gentle Imperial Step-mother.” When Xiao Jin planned to poison someone, Shen Yuheng secretly swapped the venom for flour; when Xiao Jin encountered an enemy, Shen Yuheng spent the night hiding all the blades in the palace. He repeatedly pulled Xiao Jin back from the brink of “darkening,” determined to stop him from becoming the villainous final boss of the original novel.
Two years later, rebel forces surrounded the capital. They demanded Xiao Jin hand over Shen Yuheng in exchange for the life of the original “protagonist,” Su Cheng.
The System reassured him: “Don’t worry, Host! In this life, he doesn’t even know Su Cheng. He’ll never agree to it!” Xiao Jin’s cold voice rang out: “Take him down.”
Shen Yuheng: “…” Wait, did this brat be reborn from the previous life?
Xiao Jin had indeed been reborn. His memories of his past life told him that Shen Yuheng was a spy who had been intimately involved with the rebel leader. He believed the rebels would never actually harm Shen Yuheng. However, standing atop the high city walls, Xiao Jin watched in horror as a sword pierced through Shen Yuheng’s heart. His eyes nearly burst from their sockets. That day became a nightmare that no soldier would ever forget. The rebel army was slaughtered until the fields were covered in corpses, turning the world into a living purgatory. In the depths of that sea of blood stood the Tyrant Xiao Jin, cradling the body of his father’s male concubine. From his bloodshot eyes, two trails of bloody tears fell.
